Ah, ok.

But Petula Clark is a Brit and Vicky Leandros is a Greek...

RIP, Joy. This song deserved a higher position than 17/19.

No Billy Graham to vote for? Then I'll go with King Michael of Romania.

My own pick Hugh Hefner has died: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/27/obituaries/hugh-hefner-dead.html?mcubz=3 1920: Teddy Johnson + Lassie Lou Ahern 1921: King Michael of Romania + Jackie Stallone 1922: Pierre Cardin + Janis Paige 1923: Franco Zeffirelli + Pearl Carr 1924: Jimmy Carter + Eva Marie Saint 1925: Michel Piccoli + Arlene Dahl 1926: Mel Brooks + Charlotte Rae 1927: Jerry Stiller + Cleo Laine 1928: Bernard Cribbins + Ethel Kennedy 1929: Ed Asner + Ursula K.

15/50. A broken record if my predicted list would be the DL (my last year's total was 16 btw...)

Billy Graham

Look, there is a kind of pattern in this years DL-deaths: 15.05. Ian Brady 18.08. Bruce Forsyth 19.09. Lake LaMotta (plus former DL-pick Helmut Kohl on 16.06.) So I predict 10.10. King Michael of Romania 11.11. Billy Graham 12.12. Leah Bracknell

Also an unique DDP pick. Ok. MY unique DDP pick. With no chance of a proper UK obit, I guess...

Next one for me is Bea Wain: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/bea-wain-girl-singer-from-big-band-era-who-jammed-with-pavarotti-dies-at-100/2017/08/21/6ef5fd7c-8670-11e7-a94f-3139abce39f5_story.html?utm_term=.76cef8dc4d99 Bea Wain Billy Graham Danielle Darrieux David Rockefeller Diana Athill Gretel Bergmann Kirk Douglas Lupita Tovar Sally Sweetland Suzy Delair Zsa Zsa Gabor

Leah again

Le Guin

Hopefully! He is in my theme team actually and should be a decent unique hit for me in 2017!

Billy Graham, why not.

Maybe not, but they would make the list much more different because they are not from the UK or US.

Oh dear, my bad! Thanks!
